Abstract

Abstract
Plankton (phytoplankton and zooplankton) has an essential factor for aquatic ecosystem,
because plankton is a primary food source for aquatic animals. This study was carried out
in the Alas Strait, Sumbawa Regency on May 2012. Based on the data collected from 32
stations, phytoplankton distributions (abundance and ecology indexes), water quality
condition, and relationship between them were examined. Phytoplankton identification
results show that a total of 25 species was found, and that species were classified into seven
classes. Bacillariophyceae (diatom) was the dominant class found in the study area. Pearson
correlation indicated that water temperature, transparency, salinity, nitrate, and phosphate
were the parameters significantly affected on phytoplankton distribution and abundance.
The results from this study could contribute on the development marine aquaculture in this
region in term of pearl aquaculture development.
